Grief in wartimeprivate pain, public discourse /[electronic resource] :Carol Acton. - Basingstoke ;Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - viii, 224 p. :ill.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 209-221) and index.

PART I: WAR AND GRIEF AT 'HOME' -- For Women Must Weep -- Grieving the 'Good' War -- Vietnam:The War at Home -- PART II: WAR AND GRIEF AT THE 'FRONT' -- Mourning and Combat: 'No One Sings: Lully, Lully -- 'Can't Face the Graves Today': Nurses Mourn on the Western Front -- Vietnam: BringingHome the Front -- Epilogue: 'Mother to Mother': The War inIraq.

Drawing on private expressions of grief expressed in letters, diaries, memoirs and poetry, Carol Acton focuses on the lived experience of wartime loss and on the power of the dominant public narratives to shapeand control private experience of grief and its articulation. She shows how the experience of bereavement challenges the binaries through which war is constructed, 'home' and 'the front', 'ally' and 'enemy', and collapses constructions of war that confine it within geographic limitsand dates. Since prescribed bereavement behaviour in British and NorthAmerican cultures is gendered,and since the defining and regulating of gender roles becomes extreme in a country at war, the author pays particular attention to the gendering of representations of loss in wartime.
